In keeping with our last Track of the Week we bring you another bassline-house mashup, this time by Bristol, UK-based Steak House crew. This is also a teaser of sorts for the upcoming DJ C & Zulu Gods & Robots mixtape which will feature an original Atki2 (of Steak House) production with Zulu. A couple months back we posted a…

DJ Mix: Squincy Jones; “Nintendub”
This is crunkstep if I ever heard it. Houston, TX based Squincy Jones is on that screwed-dubstep-nintendo shit that you’ve heard in your dreams but you didn’t consciously realize existed yet. In his words: I worked on this bad jackson for about 2-3 weeks. I had a couple beta versions I worked on and slowly kept adding to it. I’m…
Mashit Release: “Boston Bounce” Compilation
Once upon a time a crew of Boston rhythm scientists spent months locked away in the labs developing fresh beat formulas especially for the dance-floor. The outcome of their experiments is a new fusion of sounds influenced by dubstep, Baltimore club, German techno, reggae and more. Recently, [DJ C and DJ Flack] were among the artists featured on the (((Re:Sounnd)))…

Speaking of Cumbia
The sounds of Central/South American cumbia have become a bit of an interweb phenom over the past year. This is no doubt due in large part to the extensive coverage on /rupture’s Mud Up blog. There’s now a steady stream of underground, electronic-dance-music influenced (less folk/traditional instrumentation) cumbia tracks bubbling up, and the Buenos Aires, Argentina-based crew Zizek Urban Beats…
Track of the Week: “Somebody’s a Flirt”
I wanted to have some new music for the FlosstraPROMus party; something at least slightly Valentine’s Day themed since the party fell on Feb. 14 (pictures here and here). What better combination than some adrenaline infused bassline-house with local Chi-Town hero R. Kelly’s vocals on top, I though to myself. Perhaps the lyrics to I’m a Flirt don’t capture the…
Track of the Week: Ghislain Poirier “Madder Dan Dat” Remix

In honor of the release, and the fact that he’ll be here in Chicago to rock with us this Saturday we present the following Track of the Week. If you’re looking for some crazy soca that’ll mix with 150 BPM…

Hailing from the musical incubator known as Montreal, he…
Happy 15th Birthday, Jungle
I was just checkin’ out this site called Golden Era Jungle and realized that this year marks the 15th birthday of Jungle. There are a whole bunch of 1993 mixes by DJs like Krome & Time, Remarc, and the one below by Dr. S Gachet. In Gashet’s 1993 mix you can still hear a lot of early hardcore rave music…
Track of the Week: DJ Flack “That Sound”
DJ Flack and I often reminisce about the era when 2-step garage was pop music in the U.K., and though many of the big hits there were on the R&B side of the fence, our faves were the ragga and dub influenced tracks like the ones on the 2001 compilation Garage Dubs — an obvious precursor to what would become…
